An equivalence of relativistic field equations

Эквивалентность релятивистских уравнений поля

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento A (1965-1970)

Summary

A mechanism is developed whereby some relativistic wave equations for the same spin can be related to each other. The successful as well as the pathological attributes of a given equation can then be seen to extend to other theories.

Riassunto

Si sviluppa un meccanismo per mezzo del quale alcune equazioni d’onda relativistiche per lo stesso spin possono essere messe in relazione l’un l’altra. Si può vedere che le caratteristiche valide così come patologiche di una data equazione si estendono ad altre teorie.

Реэюме

Раэвивается метод, с помошью которого некоторые релятивистские волновые уравнения для одного и того же спина могут быть свяэаны между собой. Патологические атрибуты эаданного уравнения, по-видимому, могут быть обобшены на другие теории.
